Oregon Bigfoot #4665
Whistles heard at Quartz Creek
June 1984

Merlin, Josephine County, Oregon
Account
The witness and companions stopped on a high logging road at night and whistled loudly over a canyon. They then heard three loud whistle replies over about 20 minutes, each from a different direction, the last from the ridgeline above them. The witness briefly saw the outline of a figure on the ridgeline, which was gone after looking away to alert a companion.
